(Afternoon Edition)
Just any FYI ladies and gents….if you ever get on the train without buying a ticket, please be aware of the light rail Po-Po.
This guy, let’s call him Gameboy, got on and was fully immersed in his handheld game system. When the ticket agent stepped to the door of the train a few stops later, ole Gameboy didn’t see him standing there…which was his opportunity to step off and walk away a free man.
Instead he was knee deep in dragons and wizards (I’m guessing…kinda) and steadily button mashing. Then the ticket agent yelled “Tickets please!” Ole buddy nearly crapped his pants….busted! When it was time to pull out his ticket, Gameboy had none. So the agent told him he would be back.
When we got to the next station, my man tried out his best Carl Lewis (just dated myself uh oh), I mean Usain Bolt impersonation. Before he could step off the platform, the ticket agent was right there with pen and pad in hand.
The moral of the story: if you’re gonna do something wrong like not pay for your ticket, please be fully aware of your surroundings. Be on your P’s and Q’s people.
